When antifreeze boils a engine can no longer transfer heat to a a cool engine?

If your antifreeze got hat enough to boil, you need to find out why then replace it. It will not do the job it is supposed to.

Can water affect car heating?
Water boils hotter and faster then antifreeze, more water means engine damage.
Why does antifreeze boil faster than water?
It does NOT boil faster than water. It has higher boiling point AND lower freezing point. - Antifreeze boils at about 197 c.
What are the signs of thermostat need replaced?
The best indication of a bad thermostat is when the radiator fluid (Antifreeze) boils over from the reserve tank, not the radiator. This is caused by the thermostat not opening at its preset temperature and all the extra antifreeze is pumped directly to the reserve tank. You will also have loss of power and the vehicle will likely stop running soon after the antifreeze boils over.
What energy transfer takes place in a kettle?
the kettle boils and then the energy comes out as steam
What happens if you run a car with out antifreeze?
If you use plain water, below 32 degrees the coolant and engine block will freeze. Anti freeze also allow coolant to reach a higher temperature, ( plain water boils at 212 degrees F ) before boiling.
What is temperature gauge?
Essentially a thermometer -- tells the temperature of the engine. Overheating can ruin you engine, not to mention boil off all your antifreeze. Fortunately, if you shut the engine down soon after if gets too hot, no harm is done. Boiling off the antifreeze cools the engine, so you are not likely to damage it until your radiator boils dry. Obviously, overheating is caused by failure of the cooling system- usually a radiator leak or failure of the water pump. Some cars have a gauge that tells the temperature-- others have only an "idiot light"- something that turns red if the temperature is dangerously high.
Why is antifreeze added to car radiators?
because liquid, especially water can dissipate heat. Water's actually the best at dissipating heat but since water boils/freezes(we don't want that especially in the winter, it'll just crack your rad due to expansion) they add antifreeze.
What cause engine locks?
vapor lock happens the fuel boils in the line, maybe the line is too close to the engine, try putting foil around it.
Define melting point and boiling point and write their values?
Melting point is defined as the temperature at which a solid melts to become a liquid, the value of which depends upon the material. Boiling point is defined as the temperature at which a liquid reaches such a temperature that bubbles begin to form inside the liquid due to vapor pressure. The value at which a liquid boils depends on what the liquid you are attempting to boil, is. Oil boils at a higher temperature than water. Antifreeze boils at another temperature altogether. Steel, when liquid, boils at a very high temperature, while alcohol boils at a comparably low temperature.
How do i detect a fault on engine cooling on my vauxhall zafira?
If it gets too hot, and boils over, you have a detected a fault.
Is it okay to add water as a coolant when you are out of antifreeze coolant?
It's ok as a temporary solution, but a permanent solution depends on the concentration of antifreeze you have right now. In most US climates right now, 50% antifreeze to 50% water is ideal. Colder climates, and during the winter, you can mix 70% antifreeze with 30% water. Auto parts stores sell a very inexpensive tester for testing the concentration of your coolant mix. Obviously, a small amount of water will not greatly change that mix, but over time could throw it off. Why the mix? Of course water itself not only can freeze and, during expansion, crack things like your engine block, but also it boils too quickly (212 deg.) A correct antifreeze mix not only doesn't freeze as fast (lowering the freezing point) but it also doesn't boil as fast (raising the boiling temperature.) Water will typically work very well. The issues with water are, (One) the most obvious being the freezing of water at 32 degrees. (Two) water boils at 212 degrees. Antifreeze boils at a much higher temp. Most modern cars will reach coolant temps higher than the 212 during summer operations. So, adding straight water will get you by for awhile, but for continuous summer operations, you'll be in trouble. As for winter operations, I don't think I need to address that one.
Which most often occurs when a pot of water boils?
The water vapour rises and comes out and if it is heated for a longer period the water comes out of the pot.
